Don't get me wrong. I've seen some really great Klance stuff and I'm not against the ship but this. Exactly this. I have a theory that's largely because Klance is the most popular ship so it's the pairing a lot of people write for just so their stuff will get attention, not because they actually like or even know the canon characters but because they just want to tag their stuff with Klance. I kind of see it happening with Sheith now too.
rip.Ā i feel like a lot of people kind of pidgeon-holed themselves into shipping klance honestly.Ā like, so many people do it and itās so hard to escape and thereās so much drama with the whole anti movement/discourse that some people just... do it because itās safe and warm normal.Ā itās the pure ship, the queer rep ship,Ā the valid healthy ship.Ā the safe ship.Ā fanon characterizations of them are super easy to pick up because theyāre EVERYWHERE, and because of thisĀ anything klance, even iffy kinda klance stuff, Gets The Notes.
and i mean... iām not ragging on the pairing or the shippers as a whole.Ā iād be such a liar if i said i didnāt enjoy it.Ā itās just very clear that sometimes people arenāt into it because they actually enjoy, like, the characters?Ā lmfao i sound like such an asshole purist when i say it like that but i love the characters so much and THATāS the reason i read the fics, so when they donāt live up to the hype iām just likeĀ āwhatās the pointā it honestly doesnāt make sense to me
